Visit the local Clerk of Court to see if this person owns property; real or personal.
AnswerThe clerk of court in my jurisdiction could not answer your question. Visit the local land records office to see if this person owns any real property. If they do then arrange to have your judgment lien recorded in the land records. They cannot sell or mortgage the property until the lien is paid off.
Liens are public documents and anyone can look for them. Go to your county court house to find out. You need the person's name & address.
Generally in the US, you need to check the public land records in the jurisdiction where that person resides.
Check with your county recorder's office. Check the records under your name. If a lien has been filed you can find it.
You pay a visit to your local land records office and ask for a copy of the lien.
A lien can be placed against almost any property.
A lien can be placed on a property in the United States when a person owes a creditor a sum of money. In the state of Missouri, a lien can be on the property for ten years.
A lien can be placed on any property, regardless of who holds the mortgage. In most cases the mortgage holder will be paid before a secondary lien holder.
Each state is different, but a lien filed is only good for a certain amount of time in most cases. The person who filed has to either extend the lien on, i.e., a 6-month basis, or will have to sue to "perfect" the lien, which will then become a judgment against the person. A lien is only filed on a property.
This may vary by state. If the lien is placed against YOU, that being your wages, then it does not affect the property and it will have a clean title. If they file for a lien against your property, though, you will be required to pay off the lien before selling the property. I'd advise that you don't let the debt collector find out you have the property if you plan on selling it.
Absolutely, yes.
Yes.
Check the records in the land recorder or tax assessors office in the city or county where the property is located.
You would be aware if a lien is placed on your property. You should receive notice and a copy of the lien.
A lien is placed on property when the owner owes money to someone, and the someone wants to ensure that it will be paid back. Liens are only available to secure some kinds of debts. If a person takes out a mortgage, the bank will place a mortgage lien on the property. This means that when the person sells the property, the mortgage must get paid before the person can receive any proceeds from the sale. If the person pays off their mortgage while they still own the property, the lien will be removed. In other cases, liens are placed due to judgments and certain kinds of bad debts.
First to place a lien you should know how to do the procedure. A lien can be placed on a property for a variety of reasons. If a person is applying for a mortgage or refinancing, he may allow for a lien to be placed on his property to receive the financing. Also, a lien can be placed on property due to unpaid federal and state taxes, unpaid child support, divorce and many other cases in which the debtor does not pay a debt. As with any legal matter, it might be best to consult an attorney, but it's possible to file a lien yourself.

Basically, in the common law a lien also remains on the property and it is not extinguished by alienation of the property; liens may be real or equitable.
A Judgment Lien is a lien placed on property by a creditor to recover a certain sum of money granted by a judgment awarded in court. The property can not be sold legally while the lien remains unpaid.
